STEP 1: For the caramel sauce, swirl sugar and water until sugar is fully immersed. Place saucepan over heat until the sugar dissolves and turns an amber color.

STEP 2: Remove from heat and stir in butter. Pour in heavy cream and mix. Pour into a jar and stir in salt and vanilla extract.

STEP 3: For the cake, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside. In a separate bowl whisk brown sugar and eggs until smooth.

STEP 4: Add in the greek yogurt, oil and vanilla extract and mix. Add bananas and mix. Then, fold in the dry ingredients.

STEP 5: Distribute batter between prepared pans and bake at 350F for 40 min. Flip cakes on a cooling rack to cool before slicing in half.

STEP 6: For the buttercream, beat butter until it’s pale and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat until fully dissolved and fluffy.

STEP 7: Add vanilla and pour in 2 tbsp of heavy whipping cream. Mix until fully combined, scraping edges of the bowl.

STEP 8: To assemble, spread a thin layer of vanilla buttercream on the top of the cake and pipe buttercream along the boarder of the cake.

STEP 9: Crumble graham crackers inside the boarder and grate chocolate over the crackers. Then, drizzle salted caramel sauce on top.

STEP 10: Repeat with the next two layers. Use a little buttercream to frost the cake. Refrigerate and frost with the remainder buttercream.
